It is going to be bitter and there is no way now apparent that such a cha.actenstic can be avoided. I do not believe that either Governor Landon, the Republican candidate, or President Roosevelt, as a Democrat, seeking can prevent the hurling of invectives that are going to be very close to Naturally the President of the United States seldom makes a mud slinging speech and Governor Landon personally is man who believes a in discussing issues rather than individuals, but the mtentions or the desires of these two candidates cannot control the bitterness that is, to my mind, certain to be found in this campaign in a large measure. As typical of the sort of thing to which I have referred is the recent speech of Secretary Ickes who, in a national radio broadcast, became in his attack on quite Governor Landon. Mr Ickes is not known for his composure any way and when he gets heated up on any subject he is likely to be guilty of remarks that are not becoming to an official of our government or any other. I have not the slightest doubt that before the campaign has proceeded much further there will be similar speeches attacking Mr. Roosevelt personally and that, while Governor Landon may not approve, there will be unworthy charges hurled at the President. Mr. Ickes skated pretty close to the line in his attack on Governor Landon by various adroit phrases which were designed to create the impression that the Republican candidate was either ignorant or dishonest. I do not know Governor Landon personally but I can offer this thought: No man is going to be nominated by any polit ca1 party in a national convention, nominated by acclamation, unless his record is pretty clear. For Mr. Ickes to say, therefore, in effect, that Governor Landon had sold out to Wall Street was not the sort of campaign discussion likely to produce confidence among all the people in their government. It is comparable, in my opinion, to a charge that the President of the United States, who advertises himself continually as a friend of the common man, was guilty of increasing his own personal fortune through presidential acts and every one knows this is not true. But to get back to the theme song of the Ickes speech, it seems tr me that the tragedy of his radio pronouncement lies ni the fact throughout his discussion he was preaching class hatred. Every one knows, of course, attacks on Wall Street are very common in any The demapolitical campaign. gogues use it every hour of every day everywhere they can find any one to listen to them. It is ridiculous, but it has happened for a good many years. So when Mr. Ickes made the charge that Governor Landon was either unwittingly or knowingly leading a "rich mans fight against President Roosevelt he was descending to a rather low level of campaigning. Washington. mud-slingin- d I have seen indications a reaction against the Ickes speech m another way. John May Cause Hamilton, the publican national chairman, on his recent organization tour of the western states, propounded the inquiry that seeks to identify the economic royalists about which President Roosevelt spoke several weeks ago. If the Roosevelt campaigners continue this class hatred propaganda, I rather suspect from what Mr. Hamilton said m his speeches there will be a perfect barrage of demands to know the names of these economic royalists. It may not seem important, indeed, it seems like it probably is inconsequential, but if the Republicans let down a barrage on the President of the United States, he is likely to be put in a bad corner. Without attempting to forecast what the Republican opposition is likely to say, I can recall as an observer close to the wheels of government during the Roosevelt regime that Mr. Roosevelt frequently was a guest on the Astor yacht and that one of his chief advisors for many months was the multimil-ionairBernard M. Baruch. It seems also that a very rich man, L Doherty, was m charge of the nation-wid- e dance program held on the President's birthday and Mr. Doherty, be it said is head of one of the great utility chains. These are just samples It may be good politics for tne President to encourage these attacks without appiovu g them, but those of us who knew the late Louis McHenry Howe, are convinced that he never would Lave agreed to that sort of attack, 01 campaign is in "high. What with Farley undertaking to of the organize the Negro-voter- s north for Roosevelt and the other side claiming to be hopeful of carof white rying Florida with the aid votes; what with Andy Jackson turning over in his grave and James G.

There is a situation in the federal government that threatens to be quite nasty. I refer to the row that has developed between the Department of Justice bureau of and the investigation (the Treasurys secret service corps. It is all very much under cover, quite secret, but the row has come to the surface sufficiently to result in a demotion of two long-tim- e members of the secret service. J. Edgar Hoover has been well as chief of the Joseph E. Murphy has had almost no advertising as assistant chief of the Treasury secret service in which he has served for more than a quarter of a century. Mr. Murphy and one of his subordmates have- been reduced in rank, their record stained for life. The two departments have kept the facts well covered up. It seems that something was going on among the that the Treasury secret service thought they ought to know about They conducted their own inquiry, their own investigation into the other staff of investigators. That is as much as has been made public except Secretary Morgenthaus announcement of the demotion order. I have known each of these men equally twenty years. Each is entitled to the utmost respect But each operates along an entirely different line Hoover with some willingness for publicity; Murphy with an absolute policy of never letting his name get into the papers.

They ordered all of the banks of the country which are members of the Federal Reserve system to keep a deposit reserve with the Federal Reserve banks 15 per cent greater than ever has been required before. With the technical phases of reserve requirements and the mechanical operation of this particular order, I think we need not be very much concerned. But with the principle upon which this action is taken I think every one with a bank account, however small, ought to be vitally interested. They ought to be interested for the very simple reason that this action illustrates better than any words I can write how far the centralization of control of the banking structure has gone. This action was taken under the National Banking act of 1935, a statute that has been frequently criticised as a "political banking act Air Chief Inspects New Im hopelessly old - fashioned, I still prefer that a horse should b e tramed on the turf and not at a drug IrvinS.

WAR BRIDE To state this proposition in another way, may I describe it in the terms of a private business enterprise.

HEARD John Hamilton speak to a selected group of his own folks, and please dont laugh when I say that the individual he most reminds me of in engaging personality, in sound sense is the rival national chairman, Jim Farley. Without comparing these two as to past records or future prospects, I figure theyre temperamentally alike in various ways notably in not getting unduly excited or nastily vindicative. In his talk Hamilton did not declare the American flag was in danger, did not implore anyone to save the American home. He didnt call the Republicans saints; didnt call the Democrats knaves or idiots. He didnt claim for his side a monopoly of patriotism. Quite calmly he told his hearers what points he thought should be stressed by his party in this campaign and poked fun at himself while poking fun at the other crovd.

Thats why a balanced budget is like the idea of santa claus something everybody talks about, but nobody ever expects to see.
